Blogg 30/04/2012 Last day of april…

 

 

Weather has been awesome. Fairly cool during the day. Cool and perfect sleeping at nite. I love it. Makes me hate --- and dread --- summer all the more.

 

Yesterday we had a bit of fog and mist. Wish it had lasted all day. But when I got home, there was still a few rain drops on my peonies. Lovely.

 

Last week was not a good week for me. I sneezed constantly on tuesday and wednesday. It felt totally like my allergies. Then wednesday nite I got very ill with a cold. Miserable. I ran a fever of 100+ on thursday and thursday nite. I missed a really fun and FREE lunch on thursday. And I had a good friend take over my Swedish group on friday. I was so worried about the weekend. I had promised to work 6 hours on saturday at the Red Barn Studio in Lindsborg. It was artist open house weekend. I did make it to work. Not a particularly busy day, but rather steady. So I had lots of time to rest. I still cough occasionally but feel pretty good. Mostly tired after being sick for 3 days and a very busy weekend.

 

Tonite I had a docent meeting at the Red Barn Studio in Lindsborg. We saw photos of some of Lester Raymer’s religious work in various churches in Kansas and a couple of other states. Need to take a road trip to see these for real. Awesome!!! A good meeting.

 

After my meeting I stopped at the Meditation Garden at the Methodist Church next door to photograph a few flowers. I have started using my older camera again. Far better photos than my small newer one.

 

Tonite there was some severe storms to the south of us. We have a bit of lightning and thunder and very light rain. A disappointing thunderstorm. Still chances for rain for the next 2 days.

Blogg 02/04/2012 Funeral, nap, frenemy, futbol…

 

Weather was just a few degrees cooler today than yesterday. Right now some severe storms to the west and NW of us. Might come our way. Might not. I am voting for not. We do not be able to catch a break.

 

Today was the funeral of a friend’s mother. A small graveside service. Very nice. I was glad I was able to attend. It was in McPherson Kansas. Afterward there was a nice dinner at the First Presbyterian Church. They served a corn beef casserole. That is true comfort food for me. Mom always made it. And so do I. Always at harvest. Our crew has always liked it.

 

Before going home I stopped at the White Peacock in Lindsborg for a zen moment. Needed a quiet time to sit and read. and have some ginger peach ice tea. Then I went home and took a nap.

 

I was considering going to Wichita tomorrow for some retail therapy but have decided not to. I will order what I need. Might ---- MIGHT---- be rainy tomorrow. Planning on a jammie day instead!

 

Tonite I finished the futbol match between Canada and Mexico. What an awesome game!! Mexico scored big time and Canada had no chance. I am so jealous of my friend who was there. Willie has on the KU game now. I am not a KU fan so I do not care who wins. I used to work with some KU fans who were beyond obnoxious. And it did not matter if they won or lost. Awful sportsmanship. That was when I learned to not like KU. Still know a few like that.

 

A former friend decided several years ago to little by little cut me out of her life. For the last several years our friendship has consisted of spending no more than 1 lunch with her a month. She is just toooo busy for anything else. When my parents died, I was lucky to get a card from her. When my best friend died, she blew me off. When we lost our home to fire, she was too busy travelling to offer anything but a humourous card. Now a few months ago she got all bent out of shape that I did not give her enough attention for something. I had a reason, but she refused to listen or meet with me. I guess she cannot understand that just because I am out and about and appear OK that maybe all is not. No one knows what I am going through inside or in my private life. Now I got an email from her that bordered on sarcastic. I sent a pleasant email back. But she replied with one that was meant to hurt and make me feel small. Why do people behave that way? I have decided that I am done. Will ignore any future emails. There will be no communication between us for any reason. For a very long time she always made me feel inferior to her and I should have dropped her then. Now. Done venting.
